Mihai Zaharia: Globalworth Industrial is 100% functional, with an unaffected working rhythm

Mihai Zaharia, Director of Investments and Capital Markets at Globalworth has over 15 years of experience in banking, during which time he held a number of important positions in different companies, focusing on large projects targeting the real estate sector.

 

DEVO: How do the Globalworth construction sites look like for the new developments and what is the pace of work, at this point?

Mihai Zaharia: Globalworth Industrial, Globalworth’s logistics and light industrial sub-brand, is currently 100% functional, with an unaffected pace of work – whether we are talking about construction sites like Constanta Business Park or Chitila Logistics Hub, where we haven’t stopped or slowed down our activity, or the industrial parks from Pitești and Timișoara, where the occupancy rate and rental requests remained at the same level. We keep an accurate inventory of all the materials and products arriving at the construction sites and the provenience information. We are on schedule with all the planned deliveries, but given the unpredictable situation, we are prepared with different plans and solutions and at the right time we can intervene – depending on how things evolve.


The new context has imposed new hygiene and safety rules that we implemented from the first days of the crisis. The safety and well-being of our employees and customers, as well as the business continuity are our top priority – therefore, we have immediately applied all appropriate measures required by relevant authorities for our entire portfolio.

 

DEVO: What measures has Globalworth taken in the new economic context?

Mihai Zaharia: We are actively following the developments on a daily basis, we respect all the instructions and standards published by local and national authorities and we are sharing the information with all our workers, suppliers and subcontractors, with whom we are in permanent contact.


We have heightened the measures and we have also implemented a very strict daily cleaning program, using disinfectants approved by the relevant authorities – extremely powerful products that destroy viruses, but they are safe for human health. We have increased the number of of the dispensers with alcohol-based disinfectant, antibacterial soap, disinfectant gels and we have also installed hand washers and liquid soap on multiple spots of the construction sites. We have displayed information panels and stickers on visible areas inside the sites and our Health and Safety specialists hold frequent meetings with the workers providing them with information regarding the outbreak and potential risks. Just to give an example of how measures have been taken: usually, we hold this kind of meetings twice a month, now, given the current situation, we have the instruction gathering twice a week, to ensure that each rule is clearly communicated and respected. We insist on using authorized and verified sources to avoid misinformation and we urge all our subcontractors to follow the protocols and guidelines. We will continue our very close cooperation and communication with key partners in our effort to safeguard health and safety in our entire portfolio.

 

DEVO: What do you think we have learned from this pandemic experience so far?

Mihai Zaharia: We have learned a lot and there is still a lot to be learned. It is clear to all of us that we will face a difficult and challening period, with a significant impact on the global economy. We are facing a truly unprecedented crisis and perhaps one of the most important lessons is how we manage this uncertainty. Although we are fully aware of the gravity of this situation, we also observe its fluidity – the situation moves so rapidly, that it is difficult to predict how it will evolve in the future. We do not know how long it will take and therefore business continuity plans and solutions are constantly updated. In this storm, solidarity is vital for everyone. It is important to help both: us, as company and us, as society. Until now, Globalworth donated 550,000 euros to help fight against COVID, an amount that supports the medical systems in Romania and Poland. We take great care of our colleagues, partners, tenants and communities. We comply with all the measures and we do everything we can to safegaurd the business and support the real estate industry, but above all these, it is mandatory to help in every possible way.

 

Let’s respect the rules and measures, let’s get involved, let’s be responsible, let’s overcome this difficult life stage together! Let’s keep calm, let’s trust that, together, we will get the market back to work as soon as possible!

 

We have a long road ahead of us, but the journey will be worth it.

The RALF event, which succeeded in uniting large Romanian farmers, was a real success. There were very clear views and at the same time the guests had a remarkable presence. The whole event had a gala outfit.

Fermier Invitat
Vreau în primul rând să vă mulțumesc pentru invitația acordată și să vă felicit pentru organizarea Forumului, una foarte bine structurată, atât în baza invitaților, cât și a subiectelor abordate. A fost o zi plină de acumulare de informații, sperăm noi folositoare, iar când ne-au permis pauzele am profitat pe partea de networking cunoscând alți colegi din țară și povestind unii altora cu ce ne lovim în fermele noastre și ce putem îmbunătăți.

Dr. Cristian Radu Jecan

Director Medical, Spitalul „Prof. Dr. Agrippa Ionescu”, București

Medic Invitat ROHO

“Mulțumesc organizatorilor pentru conceptul și formatul evenimentului Convenția Română a Spitalelor ROHO 2017. A fost o onoare și în același timp o experiență remarcabilă să onorez invitația primită. Conferința a oferit un cadru de întâlnire ideal pentru membrii echipelor de management din spitalele românești, prin asigurarea unui cadru propice de schimbare a informațiilor, de împărtășire a problemelor întâlnite în cadrul procesului de management spitalicesc și mai important, a soluțiilor găsite. Participarea specialiștilor și a profesioniștilor din sănătate din alte țări europene în cadrul ROHO, mai ales a celor din zonele învecinate cu România, a asigurat o diseminare largă a unor proiecte și soluții specifice implementate de aceștia, care pot constitui un model și pentru țara noastră.”

Dr. Elisabeta Raț

Manager, Spitalul Municipal Carei, Satu Mare

Manager Invitat ROHO

”Vă mulțumesc pentru faptul că și în acest an m-ați onorat cu invitația de a participa la acest eveniment. Din prezentările Speakerilor din sănătate, de la noi și din străinătate, am observat că preocuparea deosebită pentru asigurarea calității actului medical și siguranța pacienților câștigă tot mai mult teren în managementul spitalelor publice și private. Cred că, în activitatea zilnică din unitățile sanitare, protocoalele terapeutice și procedurile de lucru implementate, definesc bune practici de eliminare a riscurilor clinice, combaterea infecțiilor asociate asistenței medicale și nu în ultimul rând, o abordare corectă și eficientă a diagnosticării și a tratamentului pacienților.”

Petru Șușca

Manager, Spitalul Clinic Județean de Urgență, Cluj

Manager Invitat ROHO

“Convenția Română a Spitalelor se evidențiază în peisajul evenimentelor din România. Reunind profesioniști din domeniul medical, evenimentul devine un prilej de a împărtăși experiență, dar și o ocazie de a interacționa cu oameni cu preocupări similare. Am apreciat alegerea atentă a speakerilor. Cunoștințele acestora sunt de un real folos în munca zilnică și pentru rezolvarea unora dintre problemele cu care ne confruntăm. Calific ediția din 2016 a Convenției Române a Spitalelor drept un eveniment constructiv și de calitate.”

Dr. Alina-Bondoc

Director Medical, Medlife Titan, București

Medic Invitat ROHO

”Vă mulțumesc pentru invitatia la ROHO 2017 și mă bucur că am avut prilejul să particip și să ascult profesioniști din managementul medical, atât din România, cât și din străinătate. Consider că un asemenea eveniment pune România pe hartă, ca țară europeană, care oferă servicii de sănătate populației, la standarde de înaltă calitate. Este extrem de important schimbul de experiență și de viziune la nivel de management, pe care îl oferă un eveniment de acest tip, și nu în ultimul rând, posibilitatea de a cunoaște persoane-cheie din acest domeniu și de a lega relații profesionale de durată. Am apreciat în mod deosebit oportunitatea de a crește vizibilitatea sistemului medical privat în fața guvernanților, atât pe plan național, cât și internațional, prin promovarea unor organizații cum ar fi European Union of Private Hospitals (EUHP).”

Dr. Mircea Cinteză

Șeful Secției Cardiologie 1, Spitalul Universitar de Urgență București

“A fost impresionant interesul pentru Convenția Română a Spitalelor. Un mare număr de participanți au venit la București din întreaga țară. Temele dezbatute sunt importante pentru oricine este implicat în activitatea de management medical.”

Guest Farmer

First and foremost, I want to thank you for your invitation and to congratulate you on the organization of the Forum, which was very well structured, both in terms of the guests, as well as of the topics addressed. It was a day full of – we hope – useful information; when the breaks allowed it, we made the most of the networking part to become acquainted with other Romanian colleagues and to talk about the problems in our farms and what could be improved.

Ciprian Dogaru

Executive Manager, Hotel Ambient 4*, Brașov

FORO Guest

The quality of the services must be continuously improved, and this is done through regular trainings and last-minute information shared with the relevant departments. Maintenance of hotel spaces is also a priority, as good hotel services cannot compensate for unattended space and vice versa. A mix between the two components is ideal and leads to the success of the customer relationship. A hotel’s reputation is its business card. In the online environment, the grades given by the guests are the mirror of the activity of the hotel, and they can be improved by good management and communication with the client.

Bogdan Arsene

General Manager, Best Western Stil Hotel 4*, Bucharest

FORO Guest

The policy of the Best Western Stil hotel has a very important component of customer service. We care about our guests and are very attentive to the feedback they send us through various forms (directly at the hotel reception, in direct meetings with our staff, through the hotel feedback forms, through the pages of TripAdvisor, Booking, Facebook etc.). Feedback from our guests helps us to maintain the level of services and facilities we offer to a certain standard and to make improvements. In the last 2 years we have made significant investments in this regard.

Chef Ștefan Popescu

Executive Chef, Pullman Bucharest World Trade Center

FORO Guest 

A restaurant is itself a complex investment. One of the current problems in this field is the quality of services, which is why it is imperative to invest in this direction. A restaurant can remain “top” only by maintaining quality – that is why this concept must be understood in detail. Competition is growing in all sectors and the best way to distinguish yourself from others is the reputation you build. The decision to use reputation as a career building tool differs from one sector to another and depends on the professional objective. However, being a professional with visibility becomes an increasingly necessary means of career development.
